or how bad he treated his staff and others just that he fought the Biden administration.

corrupt AG to keep him out of the top loathesome politician spot. Ted Cruz is shit, through and through. Who cares what that magat punk ass says.

Both Trump and Cruz defended the long-indicted Paxton by pointing to his recent reelection and attacking his attackers. Both cited his opposition to Biden and MAGA credentials without addressing any of the allegations against him.
Trump posted this on Truth Social:
The RINO Speaker of the House of Texas, Dade Phelan, who is barely a Republican at all and failed the test on voter integrity, wants to impeach one of the most hard working and effective Attorney Generals in the United States, Ken Paxton, who just won re-election with a large number of American Patriots strongly voting for him. You would think that any issue would have been fully adjudicated by the voters of Texas, especially when that vote was so conclusive.
About an hour earlier, Cruz threw down for Paxton on Twitter as a victim of the Republican-controlled swamp in Austin.
For the last nine years, Ken has been the strongest conservative AG in the country. Bar none. No attorney general has battled the abuses of the Biden admin more ferociouslyand more effectivelythan has Paxton. Thats why the swamp in Austin wants him out. The special interests dont want a steadfast conservative AG. Virtually all of the information in the articles was public BEFORE Election Day, and the voters chose to re-elect Ken Paxton by a large margin.

Because the gop has deemed paxton more of a liability now then a benefit
Dont ever think that the repukes are doing this because its the right thing
And Cruz didnt get the memo and is just so stupefyingly stupid, he thinks coming out for paxton is the right thing
